Turai Chicken (Chicken - Ridge Gourd Curry)


          This is one amazing and a delicious Chicken Curry cooked with Ridge Gourd. As I wanted to cook the chicken with some sort of vegetables, I ended up adding Turai to it. The end result was simply yummy and I enjoyed with hot phulkas for my dinner. It is a very simple and a wholesome dish. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this delicacy.
